When Will Benefits Expire?

So here is the scoop, unemployment is about to end for around 400, 000 Michiganders very soon, federal benefits expire Sept. 4th according to mlive.com

Michigan had about 450,000 new federal claims in the last month.  Those folks will see their unemployment help end as the federal government concludes their programs. The extra $300 also ends on Sept. 4th.

But keep in mind state unemployment will not end.  Folks cannot get federal unemployment if they’re eligible for the state program.  About 100,000 people in Michigan are getting state unemployment each week.

The UIA has added about 2,000 temporary employees since the pandemic started to help handle the surge in claims. The 1,500 contracted employees will be the first to be let go once call volumes recede – but they’ll stay for now to handle the backlog of issues.

I guess hundreds of thousands will lose their paychecks in two weeks, but Michigan has many free resources to help connect people with new jobs on their Website.
